Thank you for including Clint Walker. He didn't get nearly the recognition he deserved when he first came on the scene, and he still doesn't, so it was gratifying to see him on this list of Hollywood classics. From all I've heard and read about him, he was the most honorable of them all.

@@debbieandmarc I can believe that about Clint Walker. I saw his daughter interviewed years ago, and I was very impressed by her! She was not only physically very beautiful, she was extremely humble and polite with no interest in show business. She said that her father had bought her a plane because she had always been interested in flying and had given her flying lessons from a young age. This was before the airlines would hire women as pilots. She said very humbly that she hoped one day they would hire women and that if they did, she hoped she would be one of them. There was no anger and no threats of a lawsuit as there would be today, just quiet humility. I'm guessing she works for an airline today. I was so impressed by her, I thought what a wonderful father he must have been.

Met him at KVIFF in the Czech Republic with his wife and extensively talked to him during the afterparty. He told me he was an Inglorious Bastard and was dropped by parachute here in Czechia during Hitler´s Third Reich to kill German Nazi officers. He also praised fruit duplings, Czech beer, and Czech girls. But when his wife gave him "the look", we finished conversation about the topic, haha. But he was very kind. And yes, freaking intimidating as hell, but without trying. He just looked like that.

every other record i have ever seen has him as SMALL around 5ft 6. Same for Steve Mcqueen-who had tantrums re the filming of The Great Escape as he did not want to appear small compared to for example James Garner whose height has always been noted as around 6ft 3. In fact the small Scottish actor who is often in scenes with S.Mc was cast partly because S.Mc felt he made him look taller, ( sorry actors name escapes me) MANY of these heights are nonsense according to other (many other) sources!

Regardless, it is said he could clean out a bar in a brawl. If I had to be in a foxhole with someone and the odds were against me I'd want it to be Audie Murphy. Unfortunately not many of the newer generation even know who he was.

@@DataWatch. It doesn't surprise me that there are people who do not know who Audie Murphy was. I teach at the college level, and you would not believe what the average college student today does NOT know. Early on, I learned when I walk into a classroom never to assume that the students know anything unless the subject I'm teaching happens to be directly related to their major. Even when this is the case, though, they rarely know general information outside their major since people in their teens, twenties, and thirties rarely read anymore. They are too busy playing on their phones and (with males anyway) playing video games. You would think I was making it up if I told you some of the questions I have been asked. So it doesn't surprise me that there would be people who do not know who Audie Murphy was. Reading what this amazing hero did during World War II is almost incomprehensible to me. As I posted earlier, he should have been given two Medals of Honor. It always annoys me to hear an athlete referred to as a hero. What has any athlete ever done that is remotely equivalent to what Audie Murphy did? I cannot imagine the degree of pride this man's parents must have felt about their son!

Leading men who were short often stood on boxes when with a tall leading lady, or the woman stood in holes or walked in trenches. Sometimes when a couple is walking straight away from the camera, you aren't seeing the leading man with the woman, but a stand-in. This was also done with good guys and bad guys.

@@DataWatch. Read my reply above. With only a couple of exceptions, leading men HAD to appear taller than the leading lady, or every other woman, and had to be as tall as the bad guy, except when the smaller leading man was supposed to defeat a much bigger man. Leading men often stood on boxes, or leading women stood in holes or walked n trenches. Often, when full body shots were want, the leading man would have "his" back turned, and the viewer would actually be seeing a stand-in. This is rare today, but it is still done on occasion.

I was there with a group of Republicans protesting the rally in Connecticut. Everybody, both Republican and Democrat, was whispering about how incredibly short she is. She was wearing six inch heels and a tall top hat in an attempt to appear tall. When she was in a movie with John Travolta who is over 6 feet tall, she had to stand on boxes next to him. In a dance scene, they had to use a stand in for her and only filmed the stand in from the rear.

If you ever feel up to it to do another video like this one, there are others I'd like to see compared: William Holden, Edward G. Robinson, Walter Brennan, Erick Von Stroheim, Tyrone Power, Elisha Cook, Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce, Harry Belafonte, Lawrence Harvey, Richard Basehart, Lee J. Cobb, John Williams, Eli Wallach, Strother Martin, Brock Peters, William Powell, John Gielgud, Peter Falk, Danny Kaye, Robert Shaw, Paul Scofield, Ray Milland, Robert Ryan, Vincent Price, Albert Finney, Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Lee Strasberg, Dean Jagger, Montgomery Clift

Living on Martha's Vineyard year round for over a decade it always surprised me to see Hollywood celebrities in person. So tiny! Seriously, I am a 5 ' 9" woman and I towered over most of them, particularly the men. They didn't like that. If you wonder why Hollywood actresses are so short, it's to make Hollywood actors look taller. Simple trick on film.

The thing is, you have to be able to hit a curve ball. There's always an essential function, and you must be able to perform it. I'd never make it on Martha's Vineyard.

I always thought that jack Nicholson was way shorter than that. In the 50s/70s I worked in Soho London in Butchers shops as well as growing up there. We often would see up close, famous actors and tv stars( they have to eat !). It was always a surprise when you see their actual height. It's because in scenes with fellow actors the other actors would be taller making them look shortish, or in the case of the leading actor being short, they make sure others are mostly the same height or shorter.

I had a friend of similar height to you and I constantly had to tell her to stand straight, because she was a shy girl who didn't want to stand out. The funny thing is that I am extremely short, and would be blinded by the sun if standing at the wrong angle and time to look at her.

I am 62 and also 5ft 10". I used to be 5ft 11" but had a knee op in 2009 and lost an inch in height. I was painfully shy as a teenager, and hated standing out in a crowd. I loved it in my twenties though, and have had some gorgeous hunks as boyfriends over the years. All my favourite actors though, are shorter than me. My all-time favourite actor is James Dean. He was 5ft 8" (not 5ft 7") as told in this video. One of his girlfriends was Elizabeth 'Dizzy' Sheridan - and she was 5ft 10", but she said he made her feel very feminin and it felt to her, like he was taller than her. He had long legs and she used to borrow his jeans!! An ex with whom I lived with for 8 years, was 6ft 1 & a half", and I used to borrow his jeans!! On the whole, I love being tall, but sometimes I'd just like to be petite. I've always been slim, and did a bit of modelling in my 40's.

1 height they got wrong, however; Orson Welles was 6'4", not 6'. As for George Kennedy, I remember he said once that his size helped get him some of his earliest acting-gigs, by playing bad guys on "Gunsmoke." The reason being that, as he put it, "Jim Arness needed big guys to hit." (In other words, if Matt Dillon beat up _too_ small of a villain, then he'd end up looking like a big bully...) I never knew for sure how tall Gregory Peck was, but I know his hands were *_huge._* I saw his handprints in cement at Grauman's Theater in Hollywood once & from their size, he probably could've picked up a watermelon with one hand...

So...that being the case, I'm going to rely upon published, verified & annotated biographies rather than a link to just another website (since the Internet is notorious for spreading false, misleading and/or inaccurate information & misinformation, after all.)

Clint Walker was actually 6'5" and 6'6" in boots. The press often reported him as 6'6" but he was a good friend of mine (I run his official fan club on Facebook) and he told me himself he was 6' 5".

@@DataWatch. please show us where Clint himself ever said that. You should know that back in the day, the studios employed publicity staff who created a lot of what went into print and a lot of it was exaggerated or made up.

@@DataWatch. you can't believe a lot of those old articles. Most of them were made up or exaggerated with misquotes in order to sell papers/magazines. Clint got to the point where he didn't want to do interviews any more because of it. I knew Clint personally and not only did he tell me, he was 6'5" and 6'6" in boots, I can see it in the pictures we have standing together.
